"Nothing in Man is either worse or..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“If nothing is self-evident, nothing can be proved. Similarly if nothing is obligatory for its own sake, nothing is obligatory at all.”

“I never see why we should do anything unless it is either a duty or a pleasure! Life's short enough without filling up hours unnecessarily”

“We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.”

“don’t believe the war is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have re- belled long ago! There’s a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder and kill. And until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start allover again!”

“We all live in the protection of certain cowardices which we call our principles.”

“So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.”

“If you can't sleep, count sheep. Don't count endangered animals. You will run out.”

“The animals are at a level prior to thinking. They haven't lost themselves in thought. We rise above thinking and then we meet them again, where we're both in no-thought. There's a deep connection.”

“I see a clear breach of ahimsa even in driving away monkeys; the breach would be proportionately greater if they have to be killed.”
